Hey, i just got my speaker set today and having some serious troubles installing the mid bass. I took the front door panels out and test fitted the speaker into the oem location. The rear of the woofer does not slot into the oem speaker location, when the fender is added, the speaker protrudes about 4 cm into the cabin. Does any have any suggestions on what i should do?
you'll need spacers, but that depends on how much clearance between the grille and speaker.
so it goes, door, then spacer then grille and spacer then speaker plate?
this will explain it

no offence but maybe you should take it to be done by a professional, you dont really sound like you know what your doing and i'd hate to hear if you damaged such a beautiful set of speakers, if you do go ahead with it yourself make sure you pay attention to the wiring diagram as the dyn's are a little un informative when it comes to their diagrams
yea i'm cheap now after spending all my money on such setup. i'm gonna diy, well i'm gonna take it slow. thnx so much em1 dave for the link.
you could always ask a professional what to do ie go down to jb hi fi and get them to quote the job and take u through what they would be doing..otherwise theres heaps of online info its just a matter of interpreting it properly ;)
haha... good luck finding a professional at a jb hifi
MAN DONT DODGE IT!!!!! if you dodge it you will lose 90% of the quality that those truly awesome speakers create! make sure it is solidly mounted into a sound deadened door. don't waste those speakers or give them to someone who really will appreciate them and give them what they need! dyns are the benchmark for speakers. don't go to a jb hi fi etc. go to a specialist car audio install shop. i had my dyns 362's done by the best people in briz and wouldn't of had it any other way! and they are the best sounding speakers i have ever heard!
i got them from northfield, like matt said, they tlked me through the options. They mentioned that they did a similar jazz install to an 09 jazz. The fact is the 09 jazz oem location protrude out so it gives alot of space for the speaker to sit. The problem with the dyns i have is that the spider is so large it only fits 1/5 of the way into the metal door. Northfield guys told me to either have the speakers protrude outside the trim (ie cut the oem grill off) and have a pod for it to sit in. I wanna flush look so i though about cutting the metal door intead of the interior trim so it can occupy the wofffer. this way i can get a sturdy fit to the door. They recomended putting a spacer between the metal door and the speaker plate.
no offense but iam just a uni student, if i didn't appreciate music then i wouldnt be buying such speakers.Quote:

Its an occurrence happening more and more, people who don't know what they are doing and asking other amateurs on forums that don't know the car or the product for the answers...Quote:

^^ 2nd that ^^
finally i got it done today, the mid bass sounds very solid. i got the tweet in the kick panel but the tweet output seems to be comming from the floor rather than at head level. is this normal or do i need to play with tweeter location, settings?
put tweets in a-pillars
mate, i think is all about the setting of the tweeter, coz my tweeter sit in same location as well, but their sound come at head level. Why not give northfield a call or go there for some advice? they all more than welcome to answer ur question. and IMO put the tweeter live in kick panel rather than other area if you want the clean look of the car. GL with mod on audio, mate!:thumbsup:

So far so good, mate!! keep doing your good work.
